Acquire a staffed, fully equipped dessert franchise in York County without the delay and buildout work involved in opening a new location. The store is open and operating with a substantial 2025 buildout, walk-in freezer, production and service equipment, furnishings, POS systems, inventory at normal operating levels, and nine part-time employees, including one team leader and two shift leaders.

Day-to-day operations are supported by the trained team with limited owner presence. Several experienced college employees also return during summer and spring breaks, providing additional seasonal coverage during peak periods. This gives a buyer an operating platform from day one while leaving meaningful upside for someone who chooses to make the business a greater focus.

The franchisor has waived the transfer fee, initial franchise fee and right of first refusal, removing significant cost and friction from the franchise-transfer process. A buyer must still complete the franchisor’s background-check and approval process, execute the then-current franchise agreement and complete any required buyer-paid training.

The concept is built around highly visual, experience-oriented desserts with broad appeal for families, celebrations, group outings and community events. Growth opportunities include school and youth-sports relationships, catering, birthday and private events, community partnerships, local business relationships and more consistent grassroots marketing.

The leased location contains approximately 1,994 square feet. Current all-in monthly rent is $7,893.12, including base rent and additional rent for CAM, taxes and insurance. The lease has approximately 8.5 years remaining, plus two additional five-year renewal options.

Financial information is supported by QuickBooks and the filed federal tax return. Detailed financial reconciliation and supporting documents are available to qualified buyers after a signed confidentiality agreement and proof of funds.

The owners are selling to focus on their primary location, other business interests and growing family. This is a debt-free, cash-free asset sale. Inventory at normal operating levels is included. Seller financing is not offered, although buyers may pursue third-party financing.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.
